Shop Shout: LIVESTOCK

Opening its doors in 2004, Canada’s LIVESTOCK has grown into one of the world’s most premier sneaker/clothing boutiques with four locations and an immensely successful online store.

LIVESTOCK carries some of the biggest names in clothing and footwear such as Nike, Jordan, Puma, New Balance, G-Shock, Billionaire Boys Club, Reigning Champ, The Hundreds, Play Cloths, and a variety of others. Along with the numerous footwear and clothing collaborations, LIVESTOCK also has their own apparel line with fresh designs and concepts.

Tell us a little about you and your position at the store:

My name is Garry Bone, I’m the founding partner, and director/ buyer for all of the LIVESTOCK stores.

What makes your store special?

We have collected together every major account that we felt was worth having for canada. We are the most well rounded Canadian shoe store focusing on streetwear and we never have and never will forget that the core of our store is customer service.

Shoe that got you hooked:

Eric Koston’s Koston 1 by es

LIVESTOCK Calgary

Last pair you purchased:

Alife, everybody low in canvas, burgundy

Favorite pair you don’t own:

Hmmmm… that’s a tough one. Jordan IV “Lightning”

Top 3 of all-time:

NBHD x adidas Superstar

Koston 1* (*this was the best at it’s time, [because] I got a pair of the remake by Lakai and it was just too puffy, couldn’t do it.)

Livestock x Puma…it’s not out yet but I’m super stoked on it.

Amount of pairs you own:

Every year at our block party we have a shoe drive and donate shoes to homeless people in our area. I just gave away about 100 pairs, so if I was to

do a recount now, I would think I’m somewhere around 120-150

LIVESTOCK Gastown

Which upcoming release are you looking forward to?:

Livestock X Puma

Fill in the blank for us. If you weren’t at LiveStock you would like to be a

Race car driver of course!

One reason you love shoes:

This is just one of the reasons, as there are many, but some of them just remind me of good times.

LIVESTOCK Toronto

One reason why shoes matter:

It’s the base of every outfit, you can tell a lot about a person by the shoes on their feet.

One thing that you dislike about the shoe game:

People take everything way too serious

Anything else you want to tell our readers?

Just thanks for all the support from the people who have visited one of our stores when they are in town and to all the poeple who have supported through our online store (http://www.deadstock.ca). Thanks for making us who we are.

A very good place to go to indeed! Canada isn’t as resourceful as most places when it comes to shoes and apparel (exclusive and rare items) so this is a great place to acquire some. If your fortunate to live close the area you’ll be fascinated by the selection. Keep up the good work.

CTOWN REPRESENT.
C.S
hmm calgary has one too… Gotta check it out, how did I not know of this?!!! I checked out Goodfoot Calgary, that store was BORINGGG in comparisons of seeing Livestock’s with the pictures NiceKicks provided. Anyone who has been to Goodfoot Calgary knows what I’m talking about.
TFen in TO
Much better Serivce than Goodfoot.
I’d shop there a lot more if I had a discount though lol, ballin on a budget over here.
That’s the only reason Footlocker gets a lot of my Nike/Jordan business… 30% off adds up.
But keep up the good work guys, great shop.
